From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Colin Charvis was pulled over by police and arrested on Sunday following a night out in Cardiff.
The 36-year-old, who was capped 94 times by Wales and scored 22 international tries, is to appear at the city's magistrates' court later this month.
Newport Gwent Dragons, where Charvis is employed as a defence coach, declined to comment today.
A spokeswoman for South Wales Police said: "A 36-year-old man from the Swansea area was arrested on Sunday, October 4 for drink-driving and has been charged. He will appear in court on October 19 2009 at 10am."
